There have been a number of periods in North Americas most recent history when the demand for ethanol has forced up prices of  corn based foods. See  HERE,  Here , and HERE .

Corn and maize  based foods  coincidently make up a staple part of lower socio economic  groups, so they are disproportionally affected.

hence it is unlikely to enter the consciousness of the MSM.

It also distorts the  mix of ag production as corn then increases as a  percentage of ag crops as seen Here.

The law of unintended consequences.
